Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or baking mat

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cup softened butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup sourdough discard
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 ½ cups unbleached all purpose flour or Kamut
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 10 oz bags chocolate chips *sugar free are great!

Instructions
 

  • Cream butter, sugars, and sourdough discard for 5 minutes.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • In separate bowl, whisk together flour baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
  • Cover bowl and allow to chill in fridge for 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Spoon dough out, approximately 1 ½ tablespoons, and roll into balls. Place on the pan. *Optional: Gently press down with fingers.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes. DO NOT over-bake. Let cool completely on the pan.

Notes

  • You have the option to use kamut in this recipe.  The recipe can use the same as the all-purpose flour, however, I recommend using 1/4 cup less and then gradually add in the last 1/4 cup.  This will ensure that your mixture isn't too dry.
  • SUGAR FREE!  Yes, you can use sugar free chocolate chips in this recipe and NO ONE will know the difference.  I have done it every time I have made these cookies and never told anyone until now.  Not one person has noticed the difference.  DO IT!  Anytime you can cut the sugar in a food it is always better for you.
  • 1 10-ounce bag of chocolate chips is sufficient for my family.  However, if you like a lot of chocolate chips, feel free to add more.
  • Most importantly: DO NOT TELL MY DAD!
  • ****I updated this recipe to include 2 10 ounce bags of chocolate chips.  It was purely by accident, but it has become the favorite of everyone.*****
